Best Ma Compliant .45?

[tarsal]

Well I want a SW MP 45.. But there Ma Compliant will not happen I guess! Been waiting since July! Got a email yesterday not going to happen for a while if at all! So my ? Is what's a great .45 CC with a manual thumb safety? Is there one that's Ma Compliant?

M&P 45 is compliant. I purchased one from a dealer whom would not have sold it otherwise.

M&P 45 are all over the place. if dealer isn't able to get you one, then move to another dealer. Four Seasons routinely has them. it's a nice gun. you should be happy with it. very reliable. should run any type of ammo no issues.

other great options that are easy to find in MA:
HK 45
Sig P220 (10-rd mags are available)
FNX 45

i agree w bigblue the G21 is great pistol. can find them in classifieds. the 45acp glocks tend to sell cheaper than 9mm models, as the demand seems a bit lower.

If the question is "which striker fired gun should I buy", the answer is always Glock.

A V9(safety only detent) hk45c should fit the bill. Theres a upcoming group buy on hkpro.

Are you considering a 1911 at all?

Agree, must mean the Shield in 45.

Love my M&P 45c. Eats everything.

M&P 45 AND 45C Are fine in Ma. Love my 45c shoots anything i feed her. Never a hiccup

I'm in the market for a 1911. My question is "what's the best MA compliant 1911?"...I don't see much in my gun shops. A Springfield TRP would be sweet. Even a Dan wesson would be nice.

My M&P kind of works after it's 3rd trip back to S&W (was purchased brand new). Still has issues with the slide locking back and the mag catch getting jammed up under the slide somehow. They've replaced everything short of the frame. Trigger was absolute garbage before the apex kit. It's probably flee market junk level after. It sits in the safe. Most un-enjoyable handgun I own. As soon as I see a PPQ in .45 acp in the classifieds I'll use it as a boat anchor.

I'll give a thumbs up too for the M&P 45c!

Or one of these.....

How long until you give Apex your money to fix it?

As soon as they come out with a kit.

True but I went the trigger job route. LaRocca in Worcester, now it's perfect.

 

[Fleshwound]

You talking about the Shield 45?

Waiting for the flat faced trigger. Had that in my old M&P FS and loved it.

Where can I buy a MP Shield .45 in Ma??

No where yet. Not ma compliant. Give it a few months and it will be. Right now your options for a compact 45 acp are low.

I'm going to wait! Dam I hope it hits the Ma list soon!,wtf!

I see they've got a ported Performance Center flavor of Shield in .45. THAT I could be interested in.

 

[Varmint]

I forget, do the MA-compliant Shields always come with that tiny safety lever? Or you can get safety-less versions?

I doubt the PC versions will ever be MA compliant. Much like the M&P Pro

So they will take a little more effort and ingenuity to obtain. Your cop buddies can still get them, right Maura?

 

[Al-Jim19]

If I ever got another MP other than the shield I might skip the apex kit and see if I could scoop up free state parts instead. Way cheaper and for that kind of gun it will likely do anything I'd need it to.
